Hi cely,
Re-reading your original post, I'd like to ask the following -

Are you able to drill and tap holes in the "bracket", even if the bracket turns out to be a short tube ?

Have you considered that two of your spacers, sprung together, might be a simpler solution to cope with both backlash problems and future wear, than one being compressed? (This could be one cut in half, of course, if space is tight.)

Can you post a design/photo of your slide to show how much space you've got ?
